b) 25 and 14.28 % respectively
c) 25 and 16.67% respectively
d) 50 and 28.5 % respectively

Solution:

Let S = Sale price


Rs. Markdown = Old S – New S
= Rs. 175 – Rs. 150
= Rs. 25

% Markdown = Markdown ×100%


Old S
% Markdown = 25×100%
175

a) Rs. 6000
b) Rs. 8000
c) Rs. 12000
d) Rs. 4000
Answer:

S= 12000 + 0.5 S
S- 0.5S=12000
0.5S=12000
S =12000/0.5
S=24000
Therefore, selling price=Rs.24000
Markup= 0.5 S
=0.5(24000)
=Rs.12000

What is the final selling price?

a) $ 225
b) $ 246
c) $ 206
d) $ 216

Solution:

Markup = Rate × Cost


= 0.60 × $150
= $90
S=C+M
= $90 + $150
= $240
Markdown = Rate × Selling price
= 0.25 × $240
= $60
Reduced price = $240 − $60
= $180
Markup = Rate × Selling price
= 0.50 × $180
= $90
S=C+M
= $180 + $90
= $270
Markdown = Rate × Selling price
= 0.20 × $270
= $54
Reduced price = $270 − $54
= $216
